In reply to Jim_Davy:
If you're moving across to Chester, and work over our side of the border, you should check out the North East Wales Mountaineering Club.
We're a friendly, young, active club, and are particularly active during the Winter, with most of our members being snow-lovers!
Check us out online, on Facebook, or drop me a message and we could maybe meet up for a pint?
